History
Nibu Station opened on 15 April 1928 as an intermediate stop when Japanese Government Railways extended the Kōtoku Line eastward. The station passed to Japanese National Railways and, with the breakup of JNR on 1 April 1987, came under JR Shikoku. Located in Higashikagawa, Kagawa Prefecture, the unstaffed station consists of an island platform serving two tracks with a footbridge linking it to the station building, which functions only as a waiting room. Carrying the station number T13, it stands 34.4 kilometres from Takamatsu on the Kōtoku Line and is served only by local trains.
